What’s Up With SHOOTing Star Photography??

Well we began our journey back  in December 2010! The idea and passion sparked… Why not run a photography business since we LOVE it so much??

So that’s how it began… We stopped back in 2011 due to circumstances that arose and pushed us out of the photography world! What a shame it was! We thought we’d never ever return. But GOD had other plans for us… Everyday, every second.. my heart ached to get back behind the camera.

Then on April 24th,2012 my whole life changed… I knew immediately after spending the first month of my daughters life in the hospital and upon finding out her diagnosis what I NEEDED to do! What I HAD TO DO! She is the reason I began again. I need to help her to THRIVE in this world.

Expenses rose and rose… With all her medical emergencies and trips down to knoxville that I decided back in Spetmeber 2012 I WOULD DO THIS AGAIN! WHAT I LOVE FOR WHO I LOVE!!!

I am so thankful too for the ONLY reason I am doing this now is because my sweet friend who I love SO much got me started again. She GAVE me a camera..GAVE me lenses.. FIXED MY COMPUTER.. and helped put my name out there.. And for that I can never thank her enough! Thank you Amy my sweet friend! She deserves so much credit in this business because I could not have done it without her!!! In all the darkness she was the angel who lifted me up and out of a finicaial struggle! So, if you see Amy out there THANK HER for her amazing kindness! She never gave up on me… and never will. I love her DEARLY!

I thank you for reading this! I guess Ive wrapped it up 

Look here soon for more blog posts!
